Celebrating 10 Years
 
The NFB Krafters Division is excited to be celebrating 10 years of crafting blind. Celebrate with us by spreading the word.
 
Email List
Join our email list to meet blind crafters from all over the world and learn how we manage our crafts.
 
Telephone Classes
Classes are taught via the telephone using a conference call-in number (and Skype). The classes are all taught from a blind perspective and most teachers are blind.
 
Email Classes
Classes taught via an email list so that we can accommodate members that live across the globe and make it difficult for them to attend phone classes. Teachers choose whether they teach via phone or email.
 
Monday Night Chats
These chats are open to everyone and have a range of topics. We meet on most Monday Nights via a telephone conference and cover things like a simple craft, an over-view of a craft so that members have a better idea if they would like to take a class on that craft, crafting traditions around the globe, and even some technical chats to help members learn how to use things crafting apps or even BARD and how to find crafting books.
 
Learn more and become a member so that you are eligible for monthly contests and prizes at: www.KraftersKorner.org or Joyce Kane, President at: 203-378-8928 blindhands at aol.com

 Dear Mr. Ruffalo: 

 The NFB Krafters Division is excited to announce our 10 Year Celebration. We are a national division that has been growing and changing to meet the needs of our members and reach out to those that have not found us yet. Crafting and creating is something that should be available to every blind person, beginner to advanced, recreational or professional, totally new to crafting to relearning how to craft as a blind person. 

 We would love to have your help spreading the word about our division and this year long celebration. Flyers are available in both print and braille. State conventions and chapter meetings are ideal settings for getting the word out about all the crafting opportunities we offer (a flyer is attached in a text document for your convenience). Please let Cindy Sheets know if we can send you flyers to include in your state convention packets and/or to each of your chapter presidents to hand out at meetings (form below). 

 You may check out the division at www.KraftersKorner.org and questions may be directed to Cindy Sheets at slerythema at gmail.com. We are excited to have your help celebrating this grand year.
